This is a well-designed new home with a number of features including a fully-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a living room with log burner; two high-quality bathroom suites complement the three bedrooms.

The rear bedrooms have full-length tilt/open windows with glazed Juliet balconies. Underfloor heating supplied by air-source heat-pump warms the ground floor and solar PV panels are already installed; the property is expected to achieve an “A” EPC* rating.

Externally the front affords a generous amount of off-road parking and to one side is room where the future homeowner may wish to build a garage or car port (subject to planning). There is additional access on the other side of this home to the large full-width patio and lawned garden.

A delightful oak-beamed porch leads into the entrance hall with the living room on the left, with the built-in log-burning stove ideal for those cosy winter afternoons and nights.

The airy kitchen/dining room runs the full width of the property and is extremely well fitted with plenty of storage cupboards, stone worktops and integrated appliances. It also enjoys a set of bifold doors opening on the full-width patio, ideal for entertaining.

The whole of the ground floor benefits from underfloor heating with luxury Oake & Grey floor covering, wooden in appearance which in turn complements the overall feel of this lovely home.

Ascend the carpeted stairs to the first floor and enter any of the three double-sized bedrooms, also carpeted, to appreciate their capacity. The master bedroom enjoys an ensuite shower, exuding quality as does the family bathroom.

Both the rear bedrooms have double full-length doors that both fully open or tilt allowing you an extraordinary feeling of space along with copious natural light.

This new home is located on the edge of the village of Ashford Hill and is surrounded by beautiful countryside including the Ashford Hill Nature Reserve, an area of low-lying meadows in the valley of a small stream, which may be visited all year round. The village is located within easy reach of Reading, Newbury and Basingstoke and boasts an excellent primary school and church, along with an active Parish Council. Only a few miles away are the Roman city walls & amphitheater of Silchester.

The M4, M3 and A34 motorways lie within easy reach and there are fast train links to London from close Midgham (less than 4 miles away and a 10 minute rural drive from Holt Cottages) circa 42 minutes and Reading to Paddington circa 20 minutes and Basingstoke to Waterloo circa 46 minutes.
